Corrected entry: When it is the scene of the rooftop funeral we see a scene of the camera circling the building. There is something on the window of the helicopter (which can be seen again later) that keeps getting in the way of the left camera.

Corrected entry: When Jack is in the elevator we see the door open, Jack duck and the chopper shoot all the wrong men. When the door closes again we see bullet marks everywhere which couldn't have happened as the door was in the wall at the time.
Correction: If you will look carefully toward the sides of the doors as the bad guys are being shot, you will see that the bullets coming from the helicopter actually penetrate and go through the metal doors. In addition, the doors do not completely enter the shaft before the shooting starts, so it makes complete sense for the doors to have holes in several different places.

Corrected entry: When Jack drives through the pond you very see a hubcap come off. When he drives out all four are on.
Correction: Both, front & rear hubcabs, fall off. Front when driving past the fence. Rear when car hits the water revealing white wheels.

Corrected entry: When Jack falls in the tar pool Whitney comes in with clean clothes about 30 seconds after it happened. So how could she find out about it, drive over to their new house, get the clothes then drive over to the tar pool in 30 seconds?
Correction: That's the point the filmmakers wanted to make. They wanted us to remember that it is a movie (within the movie), so they deliberately added mistakes and illogical happenings. Besides, Whitney knows that her father needs new clothes, cars, ammo and other equipment on a regular basis. She could just pop by with stuff in case he needed it occasionally. Cheesy, yes, but not more so than shooting a closet because "there's always a guy in there" and being right.
Also, When Whitney says she has new clothes for her father Danny says "Doesn't anyone find this just a little convenient", expressing his disbelief that she should be there so quickly as it would only happen in the movies, not real life.

Correction: That is actually the security helicopter that later fires on Arnie in the elevator. Its a point-of-view shot from one of the people in the chopper. The thing that is in and out of the shot a few times is an air hole in the window. Seems like a mistake, until you see the chopper is part of the action later.
